Eurex Clearing
This circular contains information with respect to Eurex Clearing’s service offering and corresponding amendments to the Clearing Conditions of Eurex Clearing AG (Clearing Conditions) and to the Price List of Eurex Clearing AG (Price List) regarding the following topics:
The amendments above will become effective as of 17 June 2019.
1. Asset-Based Selection for Clearing Members
With Eurex Clearing circular 102/18, Eurex Clearing introduced a complexity reduction of its legal framework in order to serve Clearing Members and their clients with an increased flexibility in functional set-ups accompanied with a facilitated onboarding process. The complexity reduction also includes the discontinuation of the Value Based Allocation Method within the Elementary Clearing Model as of 31 December 2019. In order to enforce the migration, Eurex Clearing is going to offer the Asset Based Allocation Method as only available option for new Clearing Members as of 17 June 2019.
This will be reflected in Appendix 1 to the Clearing Conditions.
To implement the amendments, the following provisions will be amended as outlined in attachment 1:
2. Fee waiver for formatted reports for Basic Clearing Members
Currently, the service fee per formatted report and month for Clearing Members adds up to EUR 300, while unformatted reports are free of charge. In order to harmonise the pricing for Basic Clearing Members (BCMs), Eurex Clearing decided not to charge BCMs service fees for formatted reports any more until further notice.
To implement the amendments, the following provisions will be amended as outlined in attachment 2:
3. USD permanent cash holdings: Shortening of the notification period for delivery and withdrawal and temporary reduction of the respective cash service fee
With Eurex Clearing circular 029/19, Eurex Clearing introduced a permanent cash holding for USD and a cash service fee of 40 bps for these holdings.
Due to system enhancements and operational improvements, Eurex Clearing is now able to reduce the notice period from two days for deposits and five days for withdrawals to one day for deposits and withdrawals.
In addition, Eurex Clearing applies for USD permanent cash holdings a temporary reduction of the cash service fee to 20 bps until further notice to further facilitate the deployment.
To implement the amendments, the following provisions will be amended as outlined in attachment 3:
The amendments above will become effective on 17 June 2019.
